Fuel cells can make an electricity from a simple electrochemical
reaction in which oxygen and hydrogen combine to form water. There are several
different types of fuel cell but they are all based around a central design
which consists of two electrodes, a negative anode and a positive cathode.
These are separated by a solid or liquid electrolyte that carries electrically
charged particles between the two electrodes. A catalyst, such as platinum, is
often used to speed up the reactions at the electrodes. Fuel cells are
classified according to the nature of the electrolyte. Every type needs
particular materials and fuels and is suitable for any applications. The
article below uses the proton exchange membrane fuel cell to illustrate the
science and technology behind the fuel cell concept but the characteristics and
applications of the other main designs are also discussed. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC)
The hydrogen ions permeate across the electrolyte to the
cathode, while the electrons flow through an external circuit and provide
power. Oxygen, in the form of air, is supplied to the cathode and this combines
with the electrons and the hydrogen ions to produce water. These reactions at
the electrodes are as follows:
Anode: 2H24H+ + 4e-
Cathode: O2 + 4H+ + 4e- 2H2O
Overall: 2H2 + O22H2O + energy
PEM cells operate at a temperature of around 80°C. At this
low temperature the electrochemical reactions would normally occur very slowly
so they are catalysed by a thin layer of platinum on each electrode.
fertility problems is the right answer :)
Answer:
Intermediate Product Accumulation
Explanation:
If one of the crucial enzyme say B is mutated in the process of normal product formation, then the reaction will not proceed further from that point and accumulation of an intermediate product in the cell takes place. The mutation in the enzyme could be environmental or genetic but it will surely alter the enzyme functioning. In the end, the damage malfunctioning cell will be removed using the process of apoptosis.
I think it’s C because if you’re allergic to one cillian than you’re allergic to all of them
Sorry if this is wrong
